Give me all the sprinkles!!

These delicious cookie bars are sure to please all your chocolate and cookie cravings, AND they have sprinkles!!  I think I’ve made it pretty clear about my love for sprinkles.  Check out my other recipes with sprinkles (funfetti cupcakes and birthday cake…yum!).

I used no sugar chocolate chips and sweetened condensed coconut milk.  This is just a preference.  Regular semi-sweet, milk and dark chocolate morsels will taste delicious, as well as sweetened condensed milk:).

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (113 grams)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups AP flour (250 grams) 
  • 1/3 cup sprinkles (63 grams) plus more for the top 
  • 1 1/2 cups milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips (240 grams)*
  • 1/2 of a 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk (198 grams)**

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9” pan with cooking spray or line with parchment and spray for easy removal and clean-up.

Measure flour, baking soda, cream of tartar in a medium size bowl.  Whisk to incorporate and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar with a hand or a stand mixer (about 2 minutes). Mix in egg and two teaspoons of vanilla extract (scraping sides of bowl as needed).

Pour flour mixture into the butter mixture and mix just until all the flour has incorporated.  Be careful not to over mix.  Stir in 1/3 cup sprinkles.
Press batter into prepared pan.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes until the sides just start to get golden brown.

Once the bars are cool, add the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a medium saucepan.
